Page of book containing 185 leaves with a collection of lithographs, aquatints, engravings, and other media, with ornamental designs published by Fleury Chavant in Paris, part of the publication "Guide du Dessinateur de l'industrie: une macédoine de dessins variés , tels que fleurs, ornemens, etc. ...

This plate contains ornamental designs with scrolling branches with trefoils of three leaves and bundles of rosettes. Upon one of the S-scrolls stands a small vase with two handles, holding a bundle of rosettes, flanked to the sides by three leaves, and another S-scroll is flanked above by two scrolling, scallop=edged leaves, on which stands a branch holding a bundle of large, coral-shaped leaves and two rosettes. On the lower left corner of the sheet are some Greek scrolling motifs, upon which stands a bundle of rosettes and leaves, and a straight branch with scrolling, thin, elongated leaves, crowned by an U-shaped garland of pearls. On the upper-right corner of the paper is a pyramid motif made up of alternating striped sections and sections with dots. The designs are executed with black ink on thin, light brown paper.
